RIVER PLASTIC BECOMES OCEAN PLASTIC
80% of ocean plastic comes from rivers
Before plastic spreads uncontrollably in the oceans and breaks down into microplastic, it can often be stopped in rivers. Plastic pollution has a direct effect on the destruction of marine ecosystems and ocean biodiversity. If nothing changes, it is expected that there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050.
THE 3L INITIATIVE™
Keeping it simple and efficient is our USP
The “3L Initiative” describes the core philosophy of Plastic Fischer’s approach. Working with Locally-built, Low-tech solutions at Low-cost. This is the key to scale in the waste-management sector, especially in emerging markets.
